New methods and products must be developed to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, to reduce global warming. In this work, methods of extracting and isolating hemi¬celluloses from agricultural and forestry waste streams have been studied. Hemi¬celluloses are biodegradable polymers that can replace fossil-fuel-based products for use in various applications, such as barrier films and hydrogels. Ar
Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningar från Cancerfonden visar på att ungefär var tredje person i Sverige kommer att få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Cancerceller är celler som har utvecklat speciella förmågor som gör att de har börjat dela sig ohämmat. Denna ohämmade celldelning leder till bildandet av en tumör och när tumören har nått ett visst stadie i sin utveckling så börjar den spridaAs a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located. This lymph node is defined as the sentinel lymph node (SLN). By analyzing the
The aim of this paper is to discuss the implications of a complex adaptive systems approach to the management of logistics operations. The research is a result of the need for managers of logistics operation to be able to adapt to the ever-changing demands of their environment and customer demands. The identified emphasis of mechanistic assumptions in traditional modeling of logistics is discussed

The post-failure convergence of the shortest path routing (SPR) protocols used in IP networks can be too slow to meet the restrictive requirements (i.e., maximum allowable delay, jitter, etc.) of the multimedia services and therefore new restoration mechanisms combined with IP routing are of interest. The paper addresses optimization of three potential rerouting mechanisms based on the IP fast rer
Abstract in German Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem kürzlich publizierten Abschlussgutachten des schwedischen „Komitees zum Patentschutz für biotechnologische Erfindungen“ (SOU 2008:20). Insbesondere wird die von dem staatlich eingesetzten Expertengremium abgegebene Empfehlung zur Beibehaltung des absoluten Erzeugnisschutzes für Gensequenzen, vor dem Hintergrund der verschiedenen nationalen Um
A departing assumption in my work is the idea about a particular kind of conflict inherent in the theatrical line, produced by its situatedness in the specific relational doubt created in the speaking, performing voice and body, a space articulated already in the written line, as writing intended to be spoken. To the inherent self-contradiction in such utterances are added the layers of conscious
Prior to the 1990 Iraq-Kuwait conflict it was well known that Iraq had developed weapons of mass destruction but the extent of its programs were unclear. After the Iraqi defeat in the ensuing Gulf war 1991 the UN Security Council authorized the creation of UN Special Commission for Iraq (UNSCOM) with the purpose of ridding Iraq permanently of weapons of mass destruction. Several conclusions can be
”Utdrivningen av det armeniska folket i öknen” var titeln på ett diabildsföredrag som tyske n Armin T. Wegner höll den 19 mars 1919 i Berlin. Det är en gripande berättelse framförd av ett av dem främsta ögonvittnen till armeniska folkmordet under första världskriget i Osmanska imperiet. Som tysk sjukvårdare i turkiska arméns tjänst hade Wegner möjlighet att träffa och intervjua folkmordsoffren, fö

We present a comparative exploratory analysis of two proximity networks of mobile phone users, the Proximates network and the Reality Mining network. Data for both networks were collected from mobile phones carried by two groups of users. Periodic Bluetooth scans were performed to detect the proximity of other mobile phones. The Reality Mining project took place in 2004-2005 at MIT, while Proximat
